I need some cheap camcorders.

At this point I am going to be buying about 6 camcorders for the classroom to be able to send home with students to do scheduled assignments they will be working on for the year. I don't want anything expensive because of how they will be used. I do want something that does have decent quality though. I don't know if that can be had with a camcorder at $400 or less. Preferably less than $400 would be the best and $300 would be a good number to go with. I have been reading and at different reviews but want to hear from the real experts on these things. Thanks.

Is there anything better than the Canon Vixia HF R400 for the price point it is at? Is the Canon HFR40 virtually the same camera only with wifi?

What about some moola?

You're confusing me again bud.

check the Panasonic V100M and the Sony HDR-CX210 both are good cameras for less than $200(cx210 was selling last week for $150)
